California Art Club 113th Gold Medal Exhibition
“Spring Radiance” 12 x 12
We are delighted to inform you that your superb work, referenced above, has been selected for the California Art Club’s 113th Annual Gold Medal Exhibition at the Hilbert Museum of California Art at Chapman University in Orange from Tuesday, August 20, 2024 – Sunday, October 26, 2024. Congratulations! Hilbert Museum of California Art at Chapman University California Art Club, est. 1909 “
Artist Statement
This painting is about the vivid colors one can see on a sunny day in the Spring in Southern California. The early California landscape painters were mocked by East Coast critics for their use of bright colors. I take pleasure in pushing the brilliance of watercolors to the edge of gaudiness( and hopefully not all the way there) to express this glowing place.

Mesa of Many Colors
15x 21 watercolor
This is the Mesa behind my house in North Coastal San Diego county.
The greens and their complements of copper and rose inspired me to paint this. The colors glow under the May Grey sky.
